Anyone above 18 years old can participate.
The registry is starting in the USA for now. More countries to come, stay tuned !
Whatever drug or relief method, if any. We are building a global picture of Migraine management. We are interested to learn about every single case. That is why every voice counts even if 1 million migraine warriors participate.
Congratulations! Your input is particularly helpful in particular if you continue your treatment during pregnancy. There is a specific section on this site for you here
Excellent! We are very happy for you. Your input is extremely valuable as well. Express your gratitude by participating and express your satisfaction. Share your experience to help others achieve the same result.
It doesn't matter. We address all types of headaches. Your input is important whether you have headaches, Migraine, cluster headache, Hemicrania continua, New daily persistent headache, Post-traumatic headache etc... Some questions about diagnosis will be asked in the questionnaire.
Questions about your headache history, about your diagnosis, your Migraine characteristics. Questions about consequences of your condition: disability, neuro-pshycho-social impact. Questions about the treatment or relief methods that you use or have used, their efficacy and side effect. We will finish with optional Demographic questions (age, sex, gender, ethnicity, income...). ALL your answers will remain confidential, we guarantee it.
Answering the full questionnaire takes between 6 and 12 min depending on the number of drugs/relief methods you wish to report on.
The value of your input is already incredible if you answer only once. But if you accept to be contacted regularly, we will ask you to answer some questions again every 6 months, in order to analyse what we call longitudinal data. The more people accept and reply regularly, the more helpful it will be for Research.
Building this registry and collecting data will be very useful. Like said elsewhere, each case is almost unique, so we need a sufficient number of people responding to make sure that all the possible cases are found. We estimated that 1 million participants is already good to find out about every case. But in reality we dream of a 10 millions registry :-) Step by step...
Your personal benefit is the satisfaction to help the community. Your answers will be used by researchers all over the world to answer all sorts of questions. We cannot pay every participant: even if we gave only $1 per participant, it would cost us 1 million ! This research is not funded by any third party. Healint provides resources free of charge and researchers are already paid to do research!
